That's according to Spanish football expert Graham Hunter, who claims the veteran stopper wants to see out the remainder of his career with last season's Champions League winners.

"Casillas, not for the first time, stated that he couldn't find a better place to play than Real Madrid," Hunter said.

"He stated that he fully intended to see out his contract which ends in 2017 and even intimated that he'd stay and fight for his place if he happened not to be first choice during the last two seasons of his deal.

"The hard fact is that his preferred choice is to finish his career at Madrid and, in an ideal world, be offered a new contract."

Hunter's claim regarding Casillas' future will be a hammer blow to Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool.

The duo are understood to be big admirers of the 33-year-old - who has made 721 appearances for Los Blancos - and are allegedly interested in luring him to England this summer.
